I’ve always described Ryo as an offensive wall. I feel like it really encapsulates his play style; instead of a defensive wall trying to hold his ground and keep you at bay he slowly approaches you and suffocated you.
I personally don't like SNK fighting games with the exception of Mark of The Wolves which I feel is the best fighter that they've ever done and maybe KOF 97. Having played some KOF as a kid, I could have sworn that Ryo was much, much faster than what I'm seeing in this video. It also baffled me that Ryo was also slow in Capcom Vs. SNK 2 and I could have sworn that his fireball was a normal fire ball like that of Hadoken. I'm almost certain he was much faster in SVC Chaos as well.
Ryo is MAD fast in 94-95, fast all the way through until 99 and becomes mid lvl fast until 13 when he becomes the brick shithouse he was in AoF 1 and 2
Ehh. I respect the attempt to classify him but he is fundementally a shoto. He's just a tank variation of a shoto. Just like how Robert, Oni, Evil Ryu, Akuma, Dan, and Sean are all various takes on a shoto
He’s a dan not ryo horrible range slow speed and no way to get people to either to get someone to jump in or close distance; I’ve never heard of defensive as a playing arc type and those parties are garbage ; Robert is pretty much the new face of AoF
My favorite character of all time. Whenever I get my hands on a KOF game he is my first pick. This has been my tradition since 94.
Already know this gonna be a banger guide for a character I don't even play
^ this :D

I find the description of Ryo being a "very fast moving brick" very funny, but accurate lol
Best guides for this game on CZcams, hands down.
Lol every time I watch one of your videos you end up changing my mind about trying out these characters.
Appreciate your breakdowns! Good expectations and a sample of what to look for in each vid- keep up the good work!
Literally the best KOF guide on yt, nice
very good guide. Adding that after QCB D, if you land the 2 first hits in mid screen, you actually can follow up with a QCB B
right when I was thinking of trying him... cool

Basically Ryo in this game is Kage with parrys
His normals are faster and safer than Kage's too.
More like a sadder version of dan
I'm learning so much to you...thanks!!!
My main since 94' together with his pal Robert and then Clark. Also I wish he got 1 more special move
what song at the end
KOF 13 Art of Fighting stage theme
Good video
Thanks
Nice guide
His jump LK is way easier to cross up now.

he's not a shoto anymore because of kof95 where he was plain broken.
The only shoto move he has is the DP, all of his other specials do different things
Don't forget Allen, Kairi, Gouken, Kage, Mr. Karate, and Batsu!
take it you didn't beat the game as the AOF team if you're still calling him the Kyokugenryu BBQ's heir...lol

Ryo being top/top mid tier in almost every game he's in, and busted in the newest game be like:
